Got nothing to lose but time.
Forgot the world and myself in my bed today.
Cigarette in my teeth, lungs full of tar.
Goddamn, it's a good way to die.

Chip on my shoulder, a bounce in my step.
My end is coming, but it's not here yet.
Heaven in a bottle, at least my kind.
It's not hard to be happy when you're living in your mind.

And as the sun's falling, I know it's not too late.
It's all coming together, all you've gotta do is wait.
And when you realize it's a wonderful night,
Oh, just take it from me --
Light one up, breath it all in --
Oh, and then you'll see.

All your regrets, all your mistakes,
They don't mean shit when you can't awake.
And I live it up, waiting for the end --
I'll live it up, because I'm not done yet.

And as the sun's falling, I know it's not too late.
It's all coming together, all you've gotta do is wait.
And when you realize it's a wonderful night,
Oh, just take it from me --
Light one up, breath it all in --
Oh, and then you'll see.

And when it comes, you know it will,
You might cry, you know you will.
And when I die, it'll be with a smile
With a flourish is the only way to end this bastard's style.
